Da Vinci pre-school is a place where we respect and value every child’s individuality. We make sure that children feel safe and accepted. Our educational ethos requires all children to be nurtured equally where they can develop their talents, skills and passions. We believe that we learn by doing. Our aim is to help children build their self-esteem, creativity, open-mindness and empathy. It is also crucial for us to teach children how to be independent and how to deal with small mistakes or fails so that they will be eager to start their adventures in Year 1.

Our highly qualified staff is made of teachers, psychologists, and speech therapists all of whom are very much dedicated to their work. We work closely with parents, meet their expectations and take care of their needs. Parents are part of our meetings, family competitions, charities, workshops and many more.

Apart from regular teaching, our school work is based on projects ( 3-4 yearly) for all students. Every project that is conducted at our school aims for children to learn about the world in various ways that is through music, art, literature, sport, cooking, school trips, competitions, festivals, exhibitions ,storytelling or meeting school guests.
